A closed form expression for the three-electron Hylleraas integral involving the inverse quadratic power of one inter-particle coordinate is obtained, and recursion relations are derived for positive powers of other coordinates. This result…
It is a classical fact that the exponential function is solution of the integral equation $ \int_0^X f(x)dx + f(0) =f(X)$. If we slightly modify this equation to $ \int_0^X f(x)dx+f(0)=f(\alpha X)$ with $\alpha\in ]0,1[$, it seems that no…
We study integrals of the form $\int_{\Omega}f\left( d\omega_1 , \ldots , d\omega_m \right), $ where $m \geq 1$ is a given integer, $1 \leq k_{i} \leq n$ are integers and $\omega_{i}$ is a $(k_{i}-1)$-form for all $1 \leq i \leq m$ and $…
We discuss a problem initially thought for the Mathematical Olympiad but which has several interpretations. The recurrence sequences involved in this problem may be generalized to recurrence sequences related to a much larger set of…
In this paper, we generalize the $W^{2,p}$ interior estimates of fully nonlinear elliptic equations that were obtained by Caffarelli in [1]. The generalizations are carried out in two directions. One is that we relax the regularity…
Using the Chiellini condition for integrability we derive explicit solutions for a generalized system of Riccati equations $\ddot{x}+\alpha x^{2n+1}\dot{x}+x^{4n+3}=0$ by reduction to the first-order Abel equation assuming the parameter…
For a stationary moving average random field, a non-parametric low frequency estimator of the L\'evy density of its infinitely divisible independently scattered integrator measure is given. The plug-in estimate is based on the solution $w$…
For a bounded measurable set $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ we denote the Lebesgue measure of $\{(x, y)\in A^2\colon x\le y\le x+1\}$ by $\Phi(A)$. We prove that if $I=A_1\cup\dots\cup A_{k+1}$ partitions an interval $I$ of length $L$ into $k+1$…
We study a general class of multiplicative functions by relating "short averages" to its "long average". More precisely, we estimate asymptotically the variance of such a class of functions in short intervals using Fourier analysis and…
The following MW--problem was posed independently by Janusz Matkowski and Jacek Weso{\l}owski in different forms in 1985 and 2009, respectively: Are there increasing and continuous functions $\varphi\colon [0,1]\to [0,1]$, distinct from the…
In solving the differential equation for a non damped harmonic oscillator one meets, after subjecting the equation to a Fourier transformation, an integration in the complex $\omega$ plane. In most cases such an integral is evaluated by…
We improve the upper bound of the following inequalities for the gamma function $\Gamma$ due to H. Alzer and the author. \begin{equation*}…
On the 3x+1 problem, given a positive integer $N$, let $D\left( N \right) $, $O\left( N \right) $, $E\left( N \right) $ be the total iteration steps, the odd iteration steps and the even iteration steps when $N$ iterates to 1(except 1)…
In this paper, we introduce and analyze arbitrarily high-order quadrature rules for evaluating the two-dimensional singular integrals of the forms \begin{align} I_{i,j} = \int_{\mathbb{R}^2}\phi(x)\frac{x_ix_j}{|x|^{2+\alpha}} \d x, \quad…
We present a systematic study of integrals over [0,1] where the integrand is of the form Q(x) log log 1/x. Here Q is a rational function.
Two approximations of the integral of a class of sinusoidal composite functions, for which an explicit form does not exist, are derived. Numerical experiments show that the proposed approximations yield an error that does not depend on the…
We find a generalization of the Mordell integral and we also establish a set of properties for a generalization of the Mordell integral similar to those in the third author's PhD thesis.
The Mertens function is defined as $M(x) = \sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n)$, where $\mu(n)$ is the M\"obius function. The Mertens conjecture states $|M(x)/\sqrt{x}| < 1$ for $x > 1$, which was proven false in 1985 by showing $\liminf M(x)/\sqrt{x} <…
Given quantities $\Delta_1,\Delta_2,\dots\geqslant 0$, a fundamental problem in Diophantine approximation is to understand which irrational numbers $x$ have infinitely many reduced rational approximations $a/q$ such that $|x-a/q|<\Delta_q$.…
The variational iteration method is used to solve nonlinear Volterra integral equations. Two approaches are presented distinguished by the method to compute the Lagrange multiplier.
